ConferenceSeries Ltd invites all the participants from all over the world to attend 5th International Conference on Psychiatrist, Geriatric Psychiatry and Counseling Psychology which will be held during December 08-09, 2016 at San Antonio, USA The conference mainly focuses on the “To promote healthy aging by unwinding treatment approaches for mental disorders”

Psychiatry is the branch of medicine devoted to the diagnosis, prevention, study, and treatment of mental disorders. These include various abnormalities that are affective, behavioral, cognitive, and perceptual. In its ongoing attempts to define, understand, and categorize disorders, and determine the best treatments, the medical specialty of Psychiatry is always up against the protein complexity of the human brain. Both biological factors and environmental factors contribute to symptoms of distress, and the role each plays varies from person to person. Both psychotherapy and drugs are effective for most psychiatric disorders, and often a combination of the two works best, although the effects kick in on different timetables.

A psychiatrist is a physician who specializes in psychiatry, which is to say in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. Psychiatrists are medical doctors, unlike psychologists, and must evaluate patients to determine whether their symptoms are the result of a physical illness, a combination of physical and mental, or a strictly psychiatric one.

Psychology is the study of behavior and mind, embracing all aspects of conscious and unconscious experience as well as thought. It is an academic discipline and an applied science which seeks to understand individuals and groups by establishing general principles and researching specific cases. In this field, a professional practitioner or researcher is called a psychologist and can be classified as a social, behavioral, or cognitive scientist. Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior, while also exploring the physiological and biological processes that underlie cognitive functions and behaviors.

Geriatric psychiatry also called as old age Psychiatry deals with the study, prevention, and treatment of mental disorders in humans with old aged. Geriatric psychiatrists focus on prevention, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of mental, emotional disorders in the elderly and improvement of psychiatric care for healthy and ill elderly patients. In this track we will focus on the Psychogeriatric, Geriatric emergency medicine, Geriatric Palliative care, Geriatric Depression, Agitation, forgetfulness and Geriatric obsessive compulsive disorder Geriatric Palliative care.

Psychiatric mental health nursing is a specialized area of nursing practice committed to promoting mental health through the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of human responses to mental health problems and psychiatric disorders. Psychiatric mental health nursing, a core mental health profession, employs a purposeful use of self as its art and a wide range of nursing, psychosocial, and neurobiological theories and research evidence as its science. Psychiatric mental health nurses provide comprehensive, patient-centered mental health and psychiatric care and outcome evaluation in a variety of settings across the entire continuum of care. Essential components of this specialty practice include health and wellness promotion through identification of mental health issues, prevention of mental health problems and care and treatment of persons with psychiatric disorders.

Child and adolescent psychiatry is a medical subspecialty that involves working with children, adolescents and their families with emotional and behavioral illnesses. A child and adolescent psychiatrist offers families the advantages of a medical education, the medical traditions of professional ethics, and medical responsibility for providing comprehensive care.

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

CBT is a psychological treatment that addresses the interactions between how we think, feel and behave. CBT is less like a single intervention and more like a family of treatments and practices. Practitioners of CBT may emphasize different aspects of treatment based on the training of the practitioner.

Sexual disorders are like people -- they come in all different kinds of shapes and sizes. A sexual disorder doesn't mean something is "wrong" with you. It only means that you're experiencing the kind of issue that can suddenly affect anyone, at any time in their lives, for any reason or no reason whatsoever. While many sexual issues can be traced back to a physical problem or a sudden change in one's life circumstances, many sexual disorders' causes are not well-known or understood.

Addiction psychiatry is a medical subspecialty within psychiatry that focuses on the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of people who are suffering from one or more disorders related to addiction. This may include disorders involving legal and illegal drugs, gambling, sex, food, and other impulse control disorders. Addiction psychiatrists are substance abuse experts. Growing amounts of scientific knowledge, such as the health effects and treatments to substance abuse, have led to advancements in the field of addiction psychiatry.

Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. In most people with Alzheimer’s, symptoms first appear in their mid-60s. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia among older adults. The disease is named after Dr. Alois Alzheimer. In 1906, Dr. Alzheimer noticed changes in the brain tissue of a woman who had died of an unusual mental illness.

Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. People with schizophrenia may seem like they have lost touch with reality. Although schizophrenia is not as common as other mental disorders, the symptoms can be very disabling.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods, particularly when based on regular personal interaction, to help a person change and overcome problems in desired ways. Psychotherapy aims to improve an individual's well-being and mental health, to resolve or mitigate troublesome behaviors, beliefs, compulsions, thoughts, or emotions, and to improve relationships and social skills. Certain psychotherapies are considered evidence-based for treating some diagnosed mental disorders.

Geriatric, or gerontological, counselors help individuals and families with issues related to the aging process. Areas of concern include everything from the retirement transition clear through to the end of life.

Rehabilitation is a comparatively new field of medicine, the development of which has occurred primarily because of successes in other areas of medicine. Historically, people did not survive acute illness, so rehabilitation was moot. Because coping with old age, chronic illness, and disability are relatively novel, rehabilitation does not have the long experience available to other areas of medicine. Thus, theoretical constructs for treatment of disability and rehabilitation are, comparatively speaking, less developed. For this reason, the field of rehabilitation is less ready for definitive randomized trials than are other areas of geriatric medicine.

ConferenceSeries Ltd invites all the participants from all over the world to attend 5th InternationalConference onPsychiatrist and Geriatric Psychiatry which is going to be held during December 08-09, 2016 at SanAntonio, USA which includes prompt keynote presentations, Oral talks, Poster presentations and Exhibitions.

Geriatric Psychiatry, a psychiatric subspecialty, focuses on the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of complex mental disorders uniquely occurring in late life. In contrast to subspecialties that deal with organ-specific diseases, Geriatric Psychiatry is focused on providing care for intensive-needs of patients and their caregivers at the end of the life cycle, a time when many complex physical and mental health issues coalesce. The subspecialty generates new knowledge through research, and interprets and disseminates new strategies and best practices in geriatric psychiatry to all health care professionals and trainees involved in the care of the elderly. Geriatric Psychiatry organizes service delivery of psychiatric care to the elderly in multidisciplinary teams and in locations that best serve the needs of this elderly population. Geriatric Psychiatry is engaged in advocacy and development of health policy and planning related to late life mental illness and mental health, caregiver and care provider support, and systems of care.

Psychiatrist 2016 is being organized in San Antonio named for Saint Anthony of Padua, whose feast day is on June 13, by a 1691 Spanish expedition in the area. It is notable for Spanish colonial missions, the Alamo, the River Walk, the Tower of the Americas, the Alamo Bowl, and Marriage Island. Commercial entertainment includes SeaWorld and Six Flags Fiesta Texas theme parks, and according to the San Antonio Convention and Visitors Bureau, the city is visited by about 26 million tourists a year. The city is home to the five-time NBA champion San Antonio Spurs and hosts the annual San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, one of the largest such events in the country. San Antonio is home to six Fortune 500 companies and the South Texas Medical Center, the only medical research and care provider in the South Texas region.

Scope and Importance of Psychiatrist and Geriatric Psychiatry

The scope of geriatric psychiatry practice requires an understanding that all elderly patients, with unique disease presentations or atypical presentations of common diseases, have a complex interplay of structural and neurochemical brain changes, physiological and immunological reactions, personality structure, stressful life events, and early psychological development. Most have multiple chronic and concurrent medical and psychiatric conditions, and the Geriatric Psychiatrist must be adept at managing both. Further complexity is created by a variety of contextual issues including family dynamic issues, exhausted caregivers, lack of insight, stigma of old age and mental illness, social isolation, and challenging environments such as long term care homes requiring sharing of confined spaces.

Target Audience:

The target audiences for Psychiatrist 2016 are mainly from the associations and societies, students and professors from the academia of the various universities, researchers, scientists, experts, business delegates in the field of Geriatric Psychiatry.
